Description Originally posted as a b/w reference sheet but I decided to color it! Lord Hydra ref sheet commission for *AshasCadence !

Funny thing, I kept wanting to type "Lord Hood" instead of "Hydra". Halo on the brain lols

I just love how the reference came out for a character of this particular make. Those color patterns!

Haha, I forgot about rabbits! I noted her with info on great danes, but rabbits would probably fit the character better. C:
I love how all of these crazy legged creatures still adhere to the elbow/knee, wrist/ankle ratio (example: [link] ). Love it!

Oh, neat! I never really knew about those ratios, but that's super cool. Never realized danes were that leggy, either, my goodness!

Ah! That image is of a maned wolf, not a great dane. XD But yeah! Danes have some crazy long hind legs, their hips never touch the ground when they sit either.

Oho, that makes much more sense XD
Now maned wolves have some crazy legs, to be sure! Stiltbeasts, they are D:

waaa thank you so much Sky D':
it do really helps and i will do my best to make the anatomy looks more realistic
and i have a tiny question...you saw that she have 3 fingers in front and 1 in back, how i could make the back fingers to look more natural when she sit ?
i did one when she sit [link]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i know that the position isn't right but when i don't know how to make the legs look normal i "use" an extra skin that goes over the legs XD

That particular arrangement of digits is called 'anisodactyly', often seen in birds -- I'd advise on referencing many photos songbirds as well as falconiformes, particularly the feet and how the digits interact with different surfaces.
